In the 1980s, many cartoons had a “moral of the story” at the end. In most cases, this moralizing was clumsy and artificially tied to the entertainment to the point of being completely ridicolous.
One of the few good examples (at least in my eyes) was the episode “The Price” from the series BraveStarr.
The end is the same in either case - heat death
It's all an absurd meaningless ride anyway, just enjoy it and stop worrying so much
